Cambodian cuisine creates a connection to culture

Sarong Vit-Kory was born in a refugee camp in Thailand in the early 1980’s and then immigrated to the United States. In recent years, she’s begun to explore and appreciate her Cambodian heritage, in part, through learning to cook traditional cuisine. Producers Tasha A.F. Lemley and Kim Green shared a meal with Sarong to learn a little about how food can serve as a strong connection between people — and past.

This scene is part of an episode of This Is Nashville about Cambodian cooking, connection, and resilience.
